Yes I know they can work multiple aircraft types and their trips typically suck. I'd rather work a hard 3 day trip than any 5 day.
they’re also qualified on every airplane, which makes the combinatorial mathematics a bit easier. And their reserve, standby, and reroute rules are a bit different than ours, meaning trips can be covered more easily. As always, there’s a bigger picture.
